Hello Gytis and welcome to the forum, (and also to the UK).

Don't worry about your English, we can understand well enough and will not complain if you make a few mistakes.

Your 406 is looking good so far, keep up the good work!

I was thinking about 2 ways with this peugeot: "Stance" or "Rat style". But my girlfriend dont like Rat style so i decided to stay with stance, but at the moment with money problem i can't do nothing major. :/

Is that a Mercedes in front of the Peugeot?

Looks like a Lexus IS200 to me!

Hello!

Why spend a lot of money on 'styling' ? you will never get anything back from it apart from it looking how you want.

I would recommend keeping the car in good serviceable condition and just use it as daily transport. You have chosen (maybe unknowingly) a *very* reliable and simple engine by going for the Petrol version - it will serve you very well.

Look after your girlfriend and your housing priorities! trust me I have spent (and lost) lots of money on cars over the years and it really isn't important - people are

[urboniukx]

I am not going to spend lots of money on styling it. Just few things like clear body, alloys nice interior clean lights and etc. It will be like easy stance . I dont think about how to get my money back. Because its my car and i want to drive that car in my way how i like it. I dont like ugly, dirty, scratched, and not fully working cars. But thanks four your post anyway ;). Yes there was lexus is200. but now its gone ;).

And i have great news! My handbrake is working now. It takes all my day today but new handbrake lever from scraped peugeot 406 '02 its now in place and everything is working perfect

[Doggy]

Well done.

I have been putting off changing my handbrake lever for months.

Did u change it yet?

[Doggy]

No. You can't rush these things.

Mine works 99% of the time, very occasionally the ratchet slips. Not too much of a problem if you are half expecting it and leave it in gear when parked.

[urboniukx]

I always leave car on gear plus on handbrake ;) foto of happy end

Nice to see one more lithuanian 406 lover sveikas atvykes

Well my handbrake completely refused to stay on about a week ago, so I finally changed it today.

Now it's a very un-406-like perfect.
